Yes, you are right. I believe tagging significantly reduced the chance of seeing the post in your feed, so it was similar in effect.

I know some of those fact checkers. They are career journalists and the bar to tag a post as disinformation is extremely high. To tag a post, they need to produce several pages of evidence, taking several days of work to research and docume

In my mind, this strongly constrasts with the words [0] of WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg. He says they want to own roughly 5% of the WordPress market, and instead of growing their share of the pie, grow the pie itself. [0] https:/&

What legal reason prevents AWS from enforcing its terms of service, to which Parler has agreed? This is a simple question that I feel is ignored by any of the "censorship" arguments.

It's amazing how arbitrarily lines are drawn in this thread. I'd be eager to see people that disapprove AWS's actions what they would say in the following situation: 1) Parler banning some of its own users for trolling. 2) Th

The basic configuration still ships with 8GB of RAM. 16GB is $200 extra. I had an 8GB MacBook Pro in 2013. It wasn't enough then, it's absolutely inadequate now.

8GB of LPDDR3 costs about $30 retail. So they went from a 330% markup to a 660% markup. Nice.

It would be super interesting to see if this knowledge generalizes with transfer learning. For example, after seeing 50,000 episodes of PacMan, would the GAN be able to recreate Space Invaders with just 5,000 extra episodes?

This is naively bad advice, in that it doesn't educate the reader, rather it just creates stigma. Threads are a fine tool for many jobs. You just need to understand what you are doing. Reduce your shared state. Use locks when more than

I admit this is just a shower thought, but airlines could really help in the current situation by transporting sick people across the world (e.g. from Italy to China) to even out hospital demand.

I am not in the position to offer you a job. However, I am also a self-taught engineer in the UK and I can offer you mentorship on developing yourself as an engineer, if you are interested. Feel free to reach out at alek@zvuk.net. Good luck

Are there any conditions where the compiler can optimize away the call to objc_msgSend? Or is it always used for any call between 2 ObjC/Swift methods?

I think demand for VC-subsidised labor and real estate will always be high.

I've played with some early betas of Dark and I must say being deployless may make a good headline, but there are many more-exciting features. There's visual programming, a concise OCaml-style language, a unique pub-sub mechanism

I wish there were some improvements in the I/O aspect of the board. Having tried to use an RPi for a small automation project, I felt limited by the single ADC input and single PWM output. I was faced with using an Arduino daughter boa

I really liked Vice's in-depth international coverage of Vice. With Trump tweet obsessed 24/7 news TV it's really easy to lose the big picture of everything else going on in the world.

What is Boom's economic argument for supersonic passenger flight? Fuel is already #1 cost of airlines and pricing is very competitive, to the point that some airlines would rather cut service than raise prices. It sounds like the condi

I wonder what happens some of your social media accounts are private. Do they just move on, or do they get the data from the provider?

I hope that everyone uses this. If I was Netlify, I'd pay Mathieu to develop this further (e.g. web UI for people not handy with CLI). What broke Medium for me was their paywall, paid subscriptions, and all that crap. Suddenly, instead

So RSA has some 10-20 years to go. Is there a quantum computing-proof encryption algorithm, or is it just a matter of increasing key lengths?

It would have been much smarter to have spouse visas count towards the H1B quota, while guaranteeing that if one partner is selected in the lottery, the other is picked, too. Right now, if a couple with active careers want to move to the US

An interesting aspect of this is the social role of restaurants in the US and abroad. In the US pretty much every restaurant I've been to hands me the check right after I finish my last bite. Lingering in restaurants to socialize is no
